When Wang Yanling gets angry, she speaks in a sarcastic or unpleasant tone.

"We're all daughters-in-law, so please don't show favoritism. After all, our Jianliang is even more filial than your two younger sons. Every time he comes back from outside, he brings you gifts!"

Before Zhao's mother could even speak, Wang Yanling rattled off a whole bunch of things like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

Before Zhao's mother could speak, she continued:

“Whenever Zhao Jianliang has something good, he always gives it to you two first. As his daughter-in-law, I have never complained. Please don’t let us down!”

Zhao's mother was furious. She had only just entered the courtyard and hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly.

The eldest son's wife started berating her, making her blush with embarrassment. If she had known this daughter-in-law was ungrateful, she wouldn't have come.

The former daughter-in-law was a handful, and the current one is no better.

Are all the wives the eldest son married here to bring bad luck to the Zhao family?

Thinking of this, she glared at her eldest son. Zhao Jianliang, who was being glared at by his mother, secretly glanced at Wang Yanling, and then looked at his mother.

Zhao's mother was furious. This eldest son must be at least 1.78 meters tall, right?

He looks tall and strong, but he's a spineless coward. He doesn't dare to utter a word in front of his wife and is always a silent gourd.

His ex-daughter-in-law used to be so difficult, and when his mother asked him to do anything, he wouldn't even dare to lift a finger.

Later, after the family divided their property, they realized that wives had to be beaten; the more they were beaten, the more obedient they became.

He didn't know his limits and chased the guy away. That boss is such a coward!

Why don't you know that managing your wife requires a balance of strictness and leniency?

You hit him so hard, of course he'd run away! You're such a coward, you can't even keep an eye on your own wife.

Later, when he got older, he spent a lot of money to marry a younger woman.

They're practically glued to their eyes, treated like royalty, not even daring to touch them. Their only redeeming quality is "filial piety."

That's what she thought, and that's what she resented, but Zhao's mother was a bully who preyed on the weak.

She really showed off her mother-in-law authority in front of her second and third sons' wives.

But in front of the eldest son's wife, she dared not confront her like she was banging drums and gongs.

When the eldest daughter-in-law starts cursing, she can say the most offensive things imaginable.

She didn't want to lose face in front of the whole village, so she could only explain gently to the eldest daughter-in-law's complaints:

"Eldest daughter-in-law, it's not that I don't want to bring you the chicken, but we only have two old hens left. The chicks that used to incubate the eggs haven't grown up yet."

Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law's complexion had improved slightly, Zhao's mother quickly added, "These two old hens are really doing a great job; I'm counting on them to lay eggs."

I collect two eggs a day and save them to nourish your body.

Think about it, if you kill a chicken, you can only eat it for one meal, but you can get two eggs every day, so in ten days you'll have twenty eggs. Isn't that more cost-effective than killing a chicken?

Zhao Jianliang chimed in, "Yes, yes, Mom is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry. If you don't trust Mom to collect the eggs, you can collect them yourself at the old house from now on."

After saying that, he looked at his mother and asked again to confirm, "Right? Mom?"

Zhao's mother couldn't stand seeing her son act so cowardly in front of his daughter-in-law.

Unlike the wives of the second and third sons, who don't dare utter a single word in front of their mother.

The thought of having the eldest son's wife collect the eggs herself was unacceptable; she had so many chickens at home, and she would definitely make a scene if she saw them!

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law looking over, Zhao's mother quickly put on a stern face and said:

"No need, no need. She's pregnant, and it's quite a distance from here to the old house. I'll bring it to you in ten days or half a month."

Wang Yanling wouldn't have it. Last year, when her second son's wife was pregnant, her mother-in-law killed a chicken to nourish her.

How come I only have 5 eggs and some pickled cabbage?

They even said they'd send eggs over in the future, but that's just talk. If they actually sent that many eggs, Zhao's mother wouldn't be willing to part with them; she wanted to sell them in the village for money.

Now that there are readily available benefits, of course we should seize them quickly.

Wang Yanling said with a grin, "Mom, if you can't bear to part with that chicken, you can give me the money instead. Hmm, give me the money, I'll go buy it myself."

Zhao's mother never expected that her eldest daughter-in-law would be so shameless, saying she didn't have it anymore.

She's trying to make up for it elsewhere? Because she thinks she owes her something?

Although Zhao's mother was somewhat of a bully who preyed on the weak, she would never back down when it came to her own interests.

"These are just a few eggs. Take them or leave them. I don't owe you anything. We've already separated our households. The fact that I can still bring you a few eggs is already a way of showing my respect as a mother-in-law."

Wang Yanling looked at Zhao's mother with a smile, "Oh, really? Then Zhao Jianliang can just be filial to you during holidays. You're not old enough to be taking care of yourselves yet, so you can't just take advantage of our eldest son's family."

After Wang Yanling finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Zhao Jianliang and asked, "Right, Zhao Jianliang?"

Caught in the middle, Zhao Jianliang was in a dilemma and could only advise his mother:

"Mom, why don't you go and get a chicken? Otherwise, I won't dare to buy you anything in the future."

It's always the same, always the same, and Zhao's mother is about to be driven crazy by this couple.

Zhao's mother said angrily, "Take the eggs or leave it, the chicken is mine, and I won't give it to you if I say no."

Wang Yanling retorted, "Fine then, Zhao Jianliang won't be able to take a single thing from the house from now on. I'll be filial to you all, and I'll be filial to the second and third sons in whatever way they are."

If they are not filial, then they shouldn't expect to get anything from us, including food or supplies.

With a trembling finger, Zhao's mother pointed at Wang Yanling and said sarcastically, "You...you...you, you've really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes. It's a miracle that our Zhao family has a daughter-in-law like you."

Seeing his mother angry, Zhao Jianliang quickly came over to support her. "Mom, why are you angry? You know Wang Yanling. She's just stubborn but soft-hearted. Don't take it to heart. There are so many things to deal with in the future, you can't keep track of everything."

Hearing her eldest son's conciliatory words, Zhao's mother became even angrier, muttering to herself about the two of them, "I've really had the worst luck today. Why did I have to come all this way to see you, you ungrateful wretch."

I've only just entered the yard, haven't had a bite to eat, and haven't even had a sip of water, and you're already finding fault with me. Eldest daughter-in-law, you just wait and see, I'm never coming to your family's door again.

After saying that, she shook off Zhao Jianliang's hand, limped away, and took the basket she had just brought in with her.

Seeing Zhao's mother leave in anger, Wang Yanling then looked at Zhao Jianliang and asked somewhat nervously, "Was I too harsh just now?"
